Synopsis

Good Luck ChuckA serial dater afflicted with a lifelong curse of loneliness attempts to win the love of a clumsy but beautiful penguin expert in the one romantic comedy that proves true love never comes easy. As a ten-year-old boy, Charlie (Dane Cook), breaks the cardinal rule of spin-the-bottle by refusing to kiss a demented goth girl. Crushed by the disheartening snub and determined to ensure that Charlie never finds true love, the vengeful brooder places a hex on the cowardly rule breaker that follows him well into his adult life. Flash-forward 20 years, and Charlie is a successful dentist who just can't seem to maintain a stable relationship. Sure he's had his fair share of one-night stands, but these days Charlie is just looking to find a nice girl he can settle down with. One day, while attending an ex-girlfriend's wedding, Charlie realizes that every girl he has ever dated has proceeded to find true love with the very next man they've met. When word gets out that Charlie is something of a lucky charm for women looking to tie the knot, every women within a 100-mile radius comes calling for a one-night stand; and while taking a bevy of beauties to bed is fun for the time being, it doesn't take long for Charlie to realize just how empty sex can be without true love. Upon meeting hard-to-get aquatic bird specialist Cam (Jessica Alba), Charlie begins to suspect that he has found the woman of his dreams. Cam is the kind of woman whom Charlie would be happy to grow old with, but what will come of their relationship if Charlie and Cam sleep together? Now, in order to ensure that Cam doesn't end up with the next guy she meets, Charlie will finally attempt to break the curse that has plagued him since childhood. Perhaps with a little help from smooth-talking ladies' man and sympathetic best friend Stu (Dan Fogler), Charlie will finally be able to experience true happiness. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Gotta love this!!!

This has to be the best Dane Cook movie I have seen. Usually his movies wane a little after the first 20 minutes but, not this one. This movie stays the the full course and makes you laugh till it hurts! I'm glad I missed this one on the big screen. I can't pause the big screen to regain my composure. If you want to suffer from laugh pains, then this one will put you in traction.

Funny movie, but why so much childish jokes?

If it wasn't for Jessica Alba, I probably wouldn't have given this movie a second look. Luckily I did, because it's pretty funny. It crosses the line into poor taste quite often, but when the man-child of a friend isn't on screen, it's a pretty good movie. I wouldn't buy it, but definately one I'd rent more than once.

Chuck's bad luck

In large parts the movie would have been boring at best, but Jessica Alba is the reason I watched more than what I had to.If she wasn't in it I probably would have not have made it to the end.I thought the plot of the movie was really not it's strong points.And Dane Cook could not carry this movie at all.Not really funny in his scenes,but when Jessica is with him she's is so funny.Wheater she's breaking into her own house for her spare keys,or getting her dress caught in a car door,or slamming into a pole.She makes the movie enjoyable.

hilarious movie

I really see a movie and say that's it's completely horrible. But this is the one. I'm sorry but there is nothing comic in the plot of a guy sleeping with multiple girls for no apparent reason, but to prove some strange, morning hangover, theory. The inability of Cook and Alba to act doesn't help the movie. Cook should stick to the stand up, and Alba... well she shouldn't act. Period. The movie tried to be funny with bed scenes, but it looked more pathetic, like somebody tried to make an adult movie and horribly failed. Don't waste your time...

Awful Movie
Posted by: CLD212 from: on I thought this movie would at least be a little bit funny, but it wasn't. I got this when someone gave me a movie for Christmas that I already had. I would take it back if they'd let me, but I've already opened it and watched it. I doubt I will ever watch it again. This movie was gross and not even the least bit funny. If this site would have allowed it, I wouldn't have given this movie any stars at all.... It doesn't even deserve 1.
